David Davis was born in Corsicana, Texas on August 29, 1901, son of Benjamin and Willie Rakestraw Davis.
By 1924, he was living in Ithaca, New York. Aged 22, he was a student at Cornell University and planned to travel and study for 2 months in Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium. From his passport application, it appears that he sailed to Europe on the Cunard Line's RMS Carmania, a passenger ship that had been converted to an armed merchant cruiser in WW1 then back to a passenger vessel again after the war. He described himself as 5'8", with brown eyes and hair, wearing glasses, and having a high forehead, a firm mouth and a round chin! (such details were on the official form.).
He graduated from Cornell in 1927 with a degree in landscape architecture. While there, he met and fell in love with the daughter of the Dean of Architecture, Mary Hastings Bosworth, who was also studying architecture. They were married on February 22, 1930 in Manhattan. She died in 1971.
On January 25, 1982, he married Joan Yvonne (Benham) Veeder.
For many years he was an artist and landscape architect in Newtown, Connecticut and Shoreham, Vermont.
